IveGotThePower 395 Posted September 26, 2016 Hubby is awesome, and very supportive. So, when I ask him to indulge me with things like way too many trips to the mall and new (on sale) clothes and high heels that I normally wouldn't buy. He is encouraging and always has a smile. And when I have told him for the millionth time that day to look at how baggy these pants are he again smiles and agrees every time.

Pescador 1,374 Posted September 26, 2016 I could walk out every morning looking like an elephant or a skinny monkey and my husband would say Good Morning Beautiful! I simply have to be near him to feel like the most special and beautiful woman on earth. I wish every woman had this kind of love and acceptance, but he is number three. Number one of 20'years, greatest friend ever even though he never found his way home, number 2 four years almost was the death of me, but 25 years with number three warms my heart and soul in our twilight years. My children say Mom, you deserve him. I think so too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelliev2015 136 Posted September 26, 2016 My fiancé has been amazing. I'm 7 weeks post op and for the first 2-3 weeks, he was hardly eating anything cause he didn't want to make it hard for me. I had to practically force him to eat and assure him that I was fine around food. He never admitted that's what he was doing either. He just kept saying he wasn't hungry or had a big lunch at work. It was pretty cute. Like the above poster said, he would think I'm beautiful at 1000 pounds or 100 so that in itself has been hugely helpful in my journey cause I know that I have his support either way.

Shell ???? 224 Posted September 26, 2016 My partner is so supportive from being supportive of the original idea and being fine about me spending 20k on me to asking me how I feel when I was unwell and if I needed anything and always celebrating the milestones with me mentioning how tiny I am now but mostly just being there for me always if I didn't feel like making dinner he was fine with it he tried to make being around food easy for me and I owe everything to him because without a supportive encouraging partner this journey would not have been the success it is.

DeeM 50 Posted September 26, 2016 (edited) During my pre-op diet it was hard to cook dinner for the kids. My husband cooked for them and he would light a scented candle to offset the yummy smell of the dinner he was cooking.

Any sweet things your significant other does to support your efforts? 3.5 years of listening to me go on and on about weight loss, Protein, and pretty much anything and everything WLS related. He has to be 100% sick and tired of me and the surgery by now, but he keeps that smile on his face and continues to tell me how proud he is of me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Browneyedgirl41 176 Posted September 26, 2016 He's been very supportive and to an extent, like the "food police". He is encouraging me to stay on liquids for a bit longer and not adding too many foods, even soft ones, into my diet yet. I am only 3 weeks out and liquids do feel best in my belly for now. Also, he doesn't want me to blow it- to have gone through all of this and not succeed. He says I talk about food a lot. I challenged him to go on an all liquid diet for 3 weeks and tell me food was not always on his mind! So, he's been supportive, but also kind of annoying, mostly for my own good, though.
